Low chill apple shape confusion

My first two low chill apples were Anna and Dorsett Golden (both doing well, thank you).

This past year I added Ein Sheimer, a Fuji and another - I thought - Anna to my orchard collection. They are all doing quite well, except for Ein Sheimer, which seems to have a lot of small fruit, which doesn't go on to develop. Perhaps, I'm thinking, time will correct this.

However, my main question is that the 2nd Anna, looks significantly different than the original one first planted. The fruit on the new one is shaped more "barrel" like, whereas, the original Anna is "round."

Also the newer tree has reddish streaks when ripening, but original Anna, ripens yellowish.

Is it possible that one of these trees is an "imposter."
